"Why, aren't there robots or something doing such things?"
I'm actually kind of curious about what is preventing this equipment from actually becoming a robot:
'“I can teach them easily,” he says. “My equipment is goof proof, it has to be.” By that, he means that an employee need not even know how to drive straight, the tractor is guided by a sophisticated guidance sytem hooked into three satellites. “If I overlap six inches on fertilizer or seeding,” he says, “it wastes nearly $10,000.”'
What's the need for a human being in the machine at all? What could he or she do in there but screw things up?
